This is a haunted place right now, there's literally no one...
We are Gokce and Steve
With the Coronavirus escalating globally,
we still managed to make the best of ourtime in Sydney
with only a few cases at our next stop,
we continued on our world tour to Bali...
We are going to Bali
We're headed to Bali we're headed back to the Sydney airport right now for our
flight and the train is coming!
We are here now!
Some people are wearing masks, but mostly not!
We're gonna start wearing masks soon, are you ready for that?
I suppose so...
They asked us if we left Australia in last 15 days, which we did.
We went to New Zealand then came back
So speaking of which, actually today New Zealand just
announced that starting from today midnight, anyone arriving has to self
quarantine for 14 days.
We're headed to Bali, we're taking care
and precautions of course as we travel. And we're currently sitting at a Peroni Bar
here in the Sydney Airport because it is a Priority Pass restaurant the Peroni Bar gives us
also $36 per person credit and we are having a free breakfast.
Finally, I managed to get him (to) wear a mask!
and for myself, if we are going to do it, do it in a fashionable way, right?
Look at that handsome!
Both of ours!
Hello!
We are not in Business Class (cryingly)
Even with an empty plane these women boosted our spirits though we still had to fill out
a health form before landing in Bali.
Steve your lonely slipper is here, one and only slipper
the airport is a little bit of ghost town right now, we are going to our hotel
we're gonna use the app that we downloaded, what was it called hayatim?
It's called Grab, we will grab a Grab
Wow this is a beautiful airport
That's us! Yes
That was so efficient! They even have a lounge, it's awesome
That's amazing! Uber, do you see this? You see this Uber?
We are so excited to be here
Thankfully not for us!
It is worse in the US now
Because its cold there!
We made it and we can't contain the excitement honestly I've been like a little kid
ever since we got here, constantly staring outside
and like overreacting for every single thing I see!
I am just smiling!
We had another plan to go to India after Bali, and it's canceled
because India is no longer letting tourist visa holders to enter the country
They just checked our temperature
they checked me and I was 34!
The hotel staff were fantastic from the start
but it became obvious early on things were not normal...
Usually the hotel is over half full at this time,
but now it was barely 10 percent occupied.
Look at this!
OMG, you can see the water too!
And the pool!!
Look at this!!
They have steps right here so we can actually like walk into the water!
Do you want to go outside?
Hello Heaven!
We're gonna have Happy Hour soon around 5 p.m. ...
...but, look at this!
I can't believe like the whole world is going into fire and we are just here...
It's just surreal, quite frankly...
This is kind of a ghost-town, there are just a few people here
and as if we were checking in, we were actually told that
probably the entire resort was going to be us and a few people,
so it's pretty lonely here, but a lot of people are afraid of traveling
and they are protecting themselves which we understand
it's also low season in Bali, and unfortunately, on top of that
with the Coronavirus, nobody is coming...
The good thing is we were checked twice for temperature and
passed with flying colors! Gokce actually is... under the...
...3 degrees Celsius under the normal temperature
I don't even know how that's possible, are you alive?
I don't know, I am like a vampire I guess!
There were a few people at happy hour and dinner
but most were headed back to Europe before lockdowns began there.
It's so crowded here, where should we sit?
I love you so much that I closed this entire hotel, just for you!
Oh well that's thoughtful...
We decided to call it a night, and hoped tomorrow would bring better news...
We never thought that we would be doing this, three weeks into our travels,
but unfortunately, we are canceling our booking for the rest of
the trip and taking a very drastic step and go to Istanbul this weekend.
So our Bali travel is unfortunately limited to five to six days for now
Better than nothing, glad we made it to here!
We'll... We'll come back in the fall
when everybody hopefully is safe and healthy!
You gotta...just...
go with the punches!
Yeah, but thankfully most of our bookings are free cancellations...
We're trying to stay positive and hoping that things would work out
hoping the whole world will recover from this...
It's better to be calm and faithful than freaking out
and just spreading negativity,
because our mental health is very important
Your body will shut down, if your mental health is not there
So if you want your body to fight with any kind of issues,
you need to be strong here first...
...and in order to keep it strong here,
you need to take it easy and one day at a time
and try to maybe meditate (or) pray whatever works for you...
...just try to be positive
and just believe, and be faithful that this will go away
This will go away!
We will win over this!
Steve, how is it going?
Just a random day!
Wow! So many bats!
I have never seen this many, this close!
That's so beautiful! Bye!
